Here’s what I found digging through the Straight Dope archives and recent discussions about wolfpup:
Forum Activity & Reputation
1. Not a troll—well-behaved community member
- In early June 2025, wolfpup became the target of a BBQ Pit thread that was quickly locked—not due to misbehavior, but because the thread was started by a now-banned troll who mistakenly thought wolfpup had flagged their post (boards.straightdope.com).
- Other users defended him, describing him as “such a well behaved poster” and emphasizing that it was a trolling mistake (boards.straightdope.com).
2. A practical tech-savvy voice
- In April 2025, under the Site Feedback section, wolfpup expressed frustration about using Windows 7 with Discourse (the forum’s software), pointing out that modern browsers on Win 7 lack full compatibility. He mentioned trying ESR Firefox and even Supermium (a Chromium fork) as workarounds (boards.straightdope.com).
- This highlights him as a thoughtful contributor on technical and platform issues.
3. Contributor in the Pit
- He’s active in the “Here Come Rants…” Pit thread (Dec 31, 2024), participating in cultural commentary—this time weighing in on language usage and the term “baba”, displaying both cultural awareness and civility (boards.straightdope.com).
4. Affiliated with Café Society food discussions
- A mid-June thread praised wolfpup for food-related contributions, calling his username “the greatest handle of food or food sense of the entire board,” and saying he’s the “sole unpitted café society participant” in that area (boards.straightdope.com).
Overall Profile

In summary, wolfpup appears to be a well-respected regular on the Straight Dope boards—active in tech and culture-related threads, never a troublemaker, and often earning positive acknowledgment from fellow posters. Let me know if you’d like deeper dives into any specific posts!
